My name is Shawn Tierney with Insights and Automation, and I wanna thank you for tuning back in this week. Now this week on the show, I meet up with Connor Mason from Software Toolbox, who gives us an overview of their product suite, and then he gives us a demo at the end. And even if you're listening, I think you're gonna find the demo interesting because Connor does a great job of talking through what he's doing on the screen. With that said, let's go ahead and jump into this week's episode with Connor Mason from Software Toolbox. I wanna welcome Connor from Software Toolbox to the show. Connor, it's really exciting to have you. It's just a lot of fun talking to your team as we prepared for this, and, I'm really looking forward to because I just know in your company over the years, you guys have so many great solutions that I really just wanna thank you for coming on the show. And before you jump into talking about products and technologies Yeah. Could you first tell us just a little bit about yourself? Connor Mason (Guest): Absolutely. Thanks, Shawn, for having us on. Definitely a pleasure to be a part of this environment. So my name is Connor Mason. Again, I'm with Software Toolbox. We've been around for quite a while. So we'll get into some of that history as well before we get into all the the fun technical things. But, you know, I've worked a lot with the variety of OT and IT projects that are ongoing at this point. I've come up through our support side. It's definitely where we grow a lot of our technical skills. It's a big portion of our company. We'll get that into that a little more. Currently a technical application consultant lead. So like I said, I I help run our support team, help with these large solutions based projects and consultations, to find what's what's best for you guys out there. There's a lot of different things that in our in our industry is new, exciting. It's fast paced. Definitely keeps me busy. My background was actually in data analytics. I did not come through engineering, did not come through the automation, trainings at all. So this is a whole new world for me about five years ago, and I've learned a lot, and I really enjoyed it. So, I really appreciate your time having us on here, Shawn Tierney (Host): Shawn. Well, I appreciate you coming on. I'm looking forward to what you're gonna show us today. I had a the audience should know I had a little preview of what they were gonna show, so I'm looking forward to it. Connor Mason (Guest): Awesome. Well, let's jump right into it then. So like I said, we're here at Software Toolbox, kinda have this ongoing logo and and just word map of connect everything, and that's really where we lie. Some people have called us data plumbers in the past. It's all these different connections where you have something, maybe legacy or something new, you need to get into another system. Well, how do you connect all those different points to it? And, you know, throughout all these projects we worked on, there's always something unique in those different projects.

And I also wanna thank Endress and Hauser for sponsoring this episode so I could bring it to you completely ad free. With that said, if you're interested in learning about what's the latest in technology used in Coriolis flow meters, I think you'll enjoy this episode. I know I did. And with that, let's go ahead and jump right into this week's show. I wanna welcome to the show, Lawton from Endress and Hauser. Lawton, it's great to have you on. This is the first time you're on the show. We plus, we've had your company on before. But, Lawton, if you don't mind, could you, before we jump into Coriolis flow meters, which is an extremely important technology in our industry, could you first introduce yourself to our audience? Lauton Rushford (E+H): Yeah. Absolutely. Thank you. My name is Lawton Rushford. I am the flow product marketing manager here at Anderson Hauser, based in Greenwood, Indiana, which is about twenty minutes south of Indianapolis, Indiana at our, national headquarters, for Anderson Hauser. I've been with Anderson Hauser for seven years now, a whole bunch of different roles, but, for the last three years, I've been in this role, a flow marketing manager. Today, I I really wanted to highlight a couple of awesome innovations that we've had in Coriolis flow technology, over the last, we'll see, about year or so, because I think there's a lot of, use cases and a lot of awesome, insights we can get from from our Coriolis flow meters. And, yeah. So I guess we can we can kick it off. I did wanna highlight Anderson Hauser as the the manufacturer that I work for, and we have a history, a long history of, of innovation. And so I'm gonna kinda highlight that, initially, talk about what sort of portfolio we have currently with our Coriolis flow meters, and then talk about a couple of new cool things that that we have released over the last couple of couple of months. And then finish off with, what we call heartbeat technology. It's our advanced diagnostic system in all of our flow meters and all of our products across the board. It started with flow. So I think there's a lot of you cool use cases, and I'll I'll highlight a couple of those as well. And then, of course, Shawn is the the audience here. Anytime there's questions or anything, please feel free to to let me know, and I can I can try and address them as they come up? Shawn Tierney (Host): Sounds good. Yeah. Lauton Rushford (E+H): Awesome. Great. So I guess our first Coriolis meter that we introduced into the market was back in, 1986. So it's been some time. As you can tell by the the slide here, there's a lot of different designs of Coriolis flowmeters. There isn't one right way to do it, but I think that the way that Anderson Houser has approached innovation is is pretty pretty awesome and pretty impressive. Everything from a single tube, design to a dual tube design,

  • ET 200SP Distributed IO First Look (S2E19)
    Shawn takes a look at the ET 200SP line of Distributed I/O from Siemens in Episode 19 of The Automation Show, Season 2.

Welcome back to the show. My name is Shawn Tierney from Insights and Automation. And today, we're talking e t 200 s p distributed IO from Siemens. Before we go any farther, I do wanna thank Siemens for sending in the samples and for sponsoring this episode so it will be ad free, and that's as far as it goes. Everything else is my own opinion and thoughts. And, although I do appreciate them making this ad free and sending in the samples because I wanna be able to show them to you if I didn't have them. And, this is one of the reasons I'm doing this is I just put these hands on demos together for my students who come out to the automation school for hands on training. So I wanted to have something they could bring to their station and program with an s seven twelve hundred or 1,500. And, so I'm creating a bunch of these, and you'll see more and more of these as the weeks go on. But in any case, I we previously covered a couple on IFM, but now I'm doing the e t 200 s p. So we'll take a closer look at the hardware in a little bit. But But before we get into the hardware, I did wanna run through some slides that do a great job of explaining what e t 200 s p I o is. And, again, I call it distributed IO, not remote IO because here in America, most of us know there is a remote IO product from Rockwell Automation that is trademarked, Rockwell. So we don't wanna confuse people by using the term remote IO when possible. So let's go ahead and go to the slide deck now. And, the first slide is and, again, these this is a slightly of a couple three year old slide deck from Siemens that we're gonna be going through. And, you know, the first thing is, hey. E t 200 s p and e t 200 m p I o or I p 20 in cabinet I o. They're not on machine or machine mount IO. And, of course, the e t 200 MP is the full size IO that's about the same size as the 1,500, whereas the SP is the smaller. They're like the slice IO you see from all the different vendors. A matter of fact, a couple of big vendors are coming out with new IO this fall or have already come out with it, and we'll be covering those as well in the coming weeks. But today, we're focusing on e t 200 s p. And so I wanted to, talk about, you know, this is a marketing slide that Siemens puts in their presentations, and it makes sense. All the vendors wanna have IO for all the different applications, and Siemens is no different. And, actually, they got some stuff that other vendors don't have. But I'm gonna go right beyond this one and jump right into, you know, the main selling points of this product line where it's compact, it's fast, it's any of NG efficient, it's easy to wire, and I can attest to that having done three, four hundred wires here. It was very easy to wire. I really liked it. They say it has a great environmental coverage. There actually is, some extreme modules. We'll talk about that towards the end. And then built in diagnostics. Again, depending if you buy the high function and standard or basic modules, right, will depend on what kinda diagnostics you get. In any case, here is what it looks like now. The coloring of this slide, I think that the pictures colors the gray is a little lighter,
